While it sounds like an adult stuck in the teen years, it actually refers to the glow in certain stones.

Apparently a scientific gemological term…

Specifically Keef, Mick, Ronnie, Charlie .....

Do the Jonas Brothers qualify? Their adularescene is quite glowing, like the rolling stones of old. What is a gem anyhow? The term can be used for a person: “You’re a gem, for helping me out!”.

What I know about those good ol’ Jonas Brothers amounts to very little, and I never thought of the Jagger/Richards buzz beat as even remotely approaching gem-quality rhythm & blues, at least not since poor Brian’s tragic end in fateful 1969: So it turns out wide-ranging “gem” also serves as one truly extraordinary synonym for rather ho-hum vocabulary “word”!

I sure wish there was a button the top of this post a reply page
for sarcasm, because that was what I intended.  But I think you can read that into it, and did.
The concept of a gem in today’s world is certainly not ‘star quality’.  I could not agree more
about the Jonas Brothers and the Jaggers’ crew.

Sure, but you have to admit that there is still an adularescent “glow in certain Stones”, even if Brian’s light was switched off some time ago.  Falling out of a coconut tree onto your head at 60+ proves it, amongst many other manifestations of age-inappropriate behaviour.

True enough, but age-appropriate behavior is not always fun.  The inner geezer sitting atop the inner child has to get off and let him have a little fun.
How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb?
(Just one, but the bulb has to want to change. yuk,yuk.)

Could be that adularescents are powered by Eveready Innergeezers !

I see the energizer bunny now has a balloon in the Macy’s thanksday parade.  But personally I really love the Afleck duck, a duck by any other
name, smells, tastes, acts like a duck and, you know.
    He (duck) has that certain adularescence, that glow.
  By the way did you see Berger King has come out with its own cologne?  Odor of a whopper frying.  Saw it on CNN: Jeanie Mose.
